Description
The First ever semi-double fringed pansy from seed. An attractive, wide range of colours on compact free flowering plants, with weather resistance and hybrid vigour. A real beauty, adding its own invigorating style to your spring and summer beds, borders or containers. Occasionally a less double flower may appear. Height: 15-20cm (6-8in).
Sowing Instructions
Sow December to March or July to September on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a constant temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-21 days. Take care not to provide too high a temperature, as this can prevent germination. Spring sowings will give flowers during early summer, whilst summer and autumn sowings will bloom the following winter or spring.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch)pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23cm (9 inches)apart, or plant into baskets and containers.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. Overwinter September sowings in a coldframe then plant out the following spring. |
